    Islamic Gardens Amy Rebecca Gansell This course explores gardens of the Islamic World, covering a breadth of historical, cultural, geographic, and environmental contexts. After being introduced to the Islamic world, the nature of specifically “Islamic” gardens is considered. While formal design and aesthetic experience is emphasized throughout, religious, social, and political implication of landscape design are studied through historic cases. Evidence for past gardens, archaeology, and garden conservation are addressed as well.

  • The Mosque of the Turkish Grand National Assembly in Ankara: Breaking with Tradition

  • The Meaning of Landscape in Classical Arabo-Muslim Culture
    Cybergeo : European Journal of Geography, No.196, 16 October 2001 The Meaning of Landscape in Classical Arabo-Muslim Culture Lamia LATIRI Summary: This article explores the concept of landscape in Arabo-Muslim culture from a linguistic and literary standpoint1. Based on extracts from historical collections produced by Arab geographers of the classical period, it shows the existence of spatial landscape models and stereotypes that served to situate a place in a landscape. The landscapes are found to be defined on visual, aesthetic and sensory criteria. Key words: lexicology, landscape, Muslim culture A constant feature of human culture is a capacity to absorb extremely varied influences. At different times in history, the Christian West and Muslim East have established relations and influenced each other. The common core to both Muslim and Western science is the scientific legacy of Ancient Greece2. The series of studies and translations of Greek scientific works, begun in the Omayyad and Abbasid era at the end of the eighth century, and continued in Spain (Cordoba) in the twelfth century, proved valuable for Christian Europe between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries3. It is therefore not surprising to see a formulation of landscape emerge at the start of the fifteenth century in the West. It was a logical process consequent on the transmission, assimilation and renewal of the philosophy and science of the Ancient world. At the end of a long and complex process, Western culture formulated its theories and interpretations of landscape, and directed them in a way that gave a central place to the visual and scene-setting aspects.

  • TITLE of UNIT What Do Muslims Do at the Mosque
    Sandwell SACRE RE Support Materials 2018 Unit 1.8 Beginning to learn about Islam. Muslims and Mosques in Sandwell Year 1 or 2 Sandwell SACRE Support for RE Beginning to learn from Islam : Mosques in Sandwell 1 Sandwell SACRE RE Support Materials 2018 Beginning to Learn about Islam: What can we find out? YEAR GROUP 1 or 2 ABOUT THIS UNIT: Islam is a major religion in Sandwell, the UK and globally. It is a requirement of the Sandwell RE syllabus that pupils learn about Islam throughout their primary school years, as well as about Christianity and other religions. This unit might form part of a wider curriculum theme on the local environment, or special places, or ‘where we live together’. It is very valuable for children to experience a school trip to a mosque, or another sacred building. But there is also much value in the virtual and pictorial encounter with a mosque that teachers can provide. This unit looks simply at Mosques and worship in Muslim life and in celebrations and festivals. Local connections are important too. Estimated time for this unit: 6 short sessions and 1 longer session if a visit to a mosque takes place. Where this unit fits in: Through this unit of work many children who are not Muslims will do some of their first learning about the Islamic faith. They should learn that it is a local religion in Sandwell and matters to people they live near to. Other children who are Muslims may find learning from their own religion is affirming of their identity, and opens up channels between home and school that hep them to learn.

This article focuses on the way sacredness continues to be engineered in today’s Shanghai, mapping the religious landscape through the exploration of four dimensions – namely, ‘landmarks’, ‘compounds’, ‘privacy’, and ‘waterways’. The article assesses the role played by churches, temples, and mosques, by home and working spaces, by waterways and virtual networks, in the shaping of an urban sacred space satisfying a variety of needs and traditions while being symbolically organized into a consistent territory. In the context of a religiously vibrant global city, locating ‘sacredness’ means understanding it as a process of ceaseless dislocation and relocation. Keywords Chinese religions, city mapping, imagined geography, religious globalization, sacredness, urban rituals Résumé Shanghai est une métropole qui se considère tout à la fois comme le berceau de la « modernité » chinoise, le lieu de naissance du mouvement révolutionnaire et une plaque tournante de la diversité culturelle et religieuse – une identité multiple qui s’inscrit dans un certain nombre de « lieux sacrés ».
